I can't start Firefox (suddenly) or I can open the Profile Manager, what to do next?

Windows 7, 64 bit. Experienced some Windows updates, but I restored before the updates and still failed to open Firefox. Can open Safari and IE.

There is a problem early enough in the process if the Profile Manager does not start.
You can try in Firefox safe mode then you can try in Windows safe mode using the F8 key.

What you're saying, I wonder if you did a restore of Windows of some form and recreated Firefox like this. Firefox does not always correctly restores windows. You might be looking at re - install Firefox.

If you are considering relocation do take all options of Windows or Firefox that offers to remove personal settings because that is going to destroy things like passwords and bookmarks.

  • I can not open the [Profile Manager] in FireFox

    Hello...
    I have Firefox 31.0, the last of them
    I can't open [Profile Manager]
    When I do these paths
    "firefox - ProfileManager".
    Firefox.exe Pei
    ' C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla '-no-remote Pei '
    Now the problem when I write one of the paths, he opens Firefox [browser]
    I need to open the Profile Manager and make new user and use them both at the same time

    Thank you...

    Otherwise, a new browser window opens just instead.

    So if entered correctly the - no - remote control switch with Pei should open the ProfileManager in order to run a second instance with a different profile. Basically, you can run multiple instances on the same profile.

  • I created my firefox shortcut to go directly to the Profile Manager. I got it for years. All of a sudden it has stopped working

    Hello

    I can't get my firefox shortcuts to go directly on the Profile Manager. I don't know why. I know I have the target correctly configured in the properties, but he still won't be going to the nursery to profile. Help, please.

    Here is what is the location of the target in the properties:

    "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla"-profilemanger

    I have not had a problem yet. Did that for about two years. This most recent update erased the "profilemanager" - no-remote-p. I added it waala and back in! Out of service again.

    But duly noted. Thanks for the tips.

  • Firefox does not open, the Profile Manager does not, are not not in the Task Manager

    Firefox worked fine on two days back. Our norton expired so I downloaded Kaspersky Anti-virus 12.0.0.374. I don't know if that has a relationship with firefox does not.

  • Firefox, or the Profile Manager will start. In my task manager, the process uses 50% of my cpu but does nothing. I like browsing with firefox, how do I fix?

    I tried to restart my computer, the I tried to uninstall and reinstall uninstall, delete all files of firefox and folders, then reboot and then reinstall. Also, I tried to open the Profile Manager to edit my profile. After you have reinstalled several times and try to open the Profile Manager before launching firef0x, I got the firefox crashed window and the process in the Task Manager always uses 50% of my cpu. The most recent strike and then re - download gives me an error "the file is corrupt" and will not even install the program.

    Kill the process that you see, including any plugincontainer.exe, only once firefox has stopped running don't try to update.

    Completely unexpected instances of firefox running can sometimes be the result of malware activity.

  • Impossible to load profile, the Profile Manager are not available, firefox does not

    It is somewhat similar to the other listed problems with Profile Manager, but none of the answers worked for me. OS is Win 8-64 bit. Have 2 user accounts. Admin and Limited. In Admin, Firefox works, can access the Profile Manager, there's this profile.ini etc. All right.

    But in the limited account cannot access Firefox. When you click it, it says "Firefox your profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible. Can't access the Profile Manager "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla"-p. gives the same error message (Firefox does not).

    Tried to copy the files in the Admin in Limited. But the error message is the same.

    Uninstalled and installed using the limited account (supply Admin password), no result.

    Please help me.

    Thank you for your time.

    Hi Cor - el, ideato,
    Thanks for the support.
    When I entered the command, it gave me the error "the file name, directory name or volume label syntax is incorrect."

    I tried the command in different ways, but the results were similar.

    When I tried in the Admin account, it worked. But not in Limited account.

    In any case, after a long period of time, I managed to solve the problem (well sort of).

    That's what I did;
    1 uninstalled Firefox from Windows Add/Remove programs
    2. manually deleted all the files that were there for Firefox.
    3 created new account limited ('Test')
    4. sign in to that account and then close.
    5 installed Firefox using the Admin account.

    She's. Inside this 'Test' (limited), Firefox works fine. Unfortunately, inside 'Limited' Firefox is still inaccessible. But it doesn't matter. What I need to work Firefox in a limited account. I can remove 'Limited' and rename the 'Test' in 'Limited '.

    Thank you for your continued support. I learned a lot from your instructions!

    Happy troubleshooting!

    Thank you and best regards!

  • How can I change the order of the profiles in the Profile Manager?

    I have several profiles and I know that I can use the Profile Manager to delete the profile without deleting the files, then add the profile to return, but it's somehow very awkward to change the order that they are in. Is there a faster way to change the order of the profiles?

  • When you try to start Firefox I get a message saying "a copy of Firefox is already open. Only one copy of Firefox can be open at a time. "I started a new profile, but the Profile Manager always tells me that by default it is still in use.

    When you try to start Firefox, even once, I got a message saying "close Firefox. A copy of Firefox is already open. Only one copy of Firefox can be open at a time. "This issue is addressed in Mozillazine but nothing I've tried there seems to work. I started a new profile in the profile manager that gets at least upwards and the functioning, but strangely enough the Manager also told me the old (default) profile is still underway, although I can't find a way to close it. Also, I can't find the default profile in my Profile Manager. can anyone help?

    == I thought that I had left Firefox and he was new.

    I get the same problem from time to time. It is not a solution but I go into Task Manager (select by right clicking on an empty area of the start bar) and under the research process and, invariably, there is a 'hidden' version to use the FF. I selects & close via Task Manager and then am able to restart FF.

  • Firefox does not start, the Profile Manager is not available

    Firefox worked, then update it does not start. I tried all the fixes; However, the Profile Manager is not accessible or even present in the execution file. I unintalled and reinstalled several times, but I still can't get it to work. There is no Windows or Norton firewall block so I do not understand. What can I do? I want to use Firefox because it's the best browser; but now I'm forced to use Oscar. It's not terrible, but I prefer the features I've had with Firefox

    I had upgraded to the latest version; but the thought of demotion to the version which worked perfectly. In the end, I had to defrag, do a registry clean and optimization of performance of PC, but for the upgrade launched. So, I'm happy to say that I reply to this post with my Firefox browser. Thank you very much for your help. If all goes well, I won't have problems.

  • Don't run Firefox and I can't go in the Profile Manager to make a new profile.

    Whenever I try to launch Firefox it does not open. I had this problem before and I fixed it by using the Profile Manager, I'm doing the same thing this time. However, the Profile Manager will not open at all.

    It is possible that your security (firewall, antivirus) software blocks or limit Firefox or the process of plugin-container without you inform, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.

    Delete all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container in the permissions list in the firewall and leave your firewall again ask permission to get full unlimited access to the internet for Firefox and the plugin-container and the update process.
